Indeed, I would never step a foot in a MAX plane. Even if they switched on me in the last minute. I would rather spend extra cash to buy a new ticket rather than fly with a MAX plane.

They have many years of reliability before I would dare to fly with such a plane.
I don't like seeing comments like this downvoted, especially with zero comments responding to it.

It seems a totally legitimate viewpoint, even if it's one that many of us disagree with.

Downvoting just to signal disagreement is against the guidelines, isn't it?
Smallpox. Polio isn’t actually eradicated but almost is.

However, in the US a lot of diseases were eradicated locally. Malaria used to be endemic, and tuberculosis.

There’s also a list here: Diptheria, Mump, Measles, Rubella

Some have made small comebacks due to anti-vaxxer sentiment, but eradication certainly isn’t some impossible goal.

> You are right that cars are not safe, but for some part, you've got control of the risk yourself.

I don't want to be in control of the risk, I'm a bad driver. Haven't owned a car for some years. Still drive on occasion when I need to with a hire car.

I want a computer that is better at driving than I am to do it. It is easy for me to see why perfect is the enemy of good on this issue.

To back you up somewhat with a personal anecdote... I've been working in the blockchain World for about 8 years across crypto and enterprise blockchain as an engineer, researcher and more recently a product manager, and and have come to the conclusion that there are not really very many practical applications for crypto or enterprise blockchain.

For crypto, other than censorship resistance - which most people don't actually care about because they are lucky enough not to need it - it doesn't really offer anything useful. Most crypto projects are Rube Goldberg machines whereby the operators of these companies are re-hashing all the same things our ancestors did with money. Of course they are doing well at the moment because it's morphed into a get rich quick scheme. If there was no easy money to be made there would be little interest in it, just like there was back in 2010 when I started looking at Bitcoin.

Enterprise blockchain struggles because there's no actual need for blockchain elements like chains of provenance and smart contracts if the participants are fully identified and already have business relationships. "Blockchain" is a direct substitute for trusted third parties and good legal agreements and should only ever be used in circumstances where all other options are exhausted because the technology comes with so many bad trade-offs. Doesn't scale, very complicated, difficult to manage upgrades and versions, customers find it hard to understand, etc...
because there are multiple viewpoints given by people, various publications, and later fb itself towards proposed policy and they all can't be right. It's a prime example of spreading misinformation.

Typically the annual report will give you an org chart with the division heads for public companies. If it isn't there it will be on the website or some other publication and if you can't find it and are an investor you can always simply ask.

Here is Tesla's:

https://theorg.com/org/tesla

and a bit more detail here:

https://theorg.com/org/tesla/org-chart

From there on down it takes a bit of work to get more detail, we typically spend a day on this during the run-up to a DD to verify what we receive and use a lot of googling, linked-in, and other sources to figure out who works in the company and in what role.

The GDPR has made this a bit harder. Team pages are a good source of info for lots of companies in the 10-100 people range, they sometimes list all of their employee names + titles.

I'm not aware of a single source of truth for detailed org charts, if it exists we'd be happy to buy it, it would save us a lot of time and effort.

Ryanair do have a history of taking advantage of industry slumps, having put in an order for 100 aircraft with Boeing in January 2002 when aviation had nearly collapsed.

That said, they take safety extraordinarily seriously and would not risk their reputation if they had doubts about the Max.
By "most" do you mean excluding those three? I know it's not too hard to get a port at a good rate if I have my own server, and it's easy to rent a server with plenty of bandwidth. But if I want to use something like glacier, I'm screwed. Amazon's "contact us" threshold is $28k per month, and anyone under that is paying 30x-40x as much as if it was $.002/GB.

This is very wrong. Australia is very, very dense, where people live: it just has a lot of absolutely uninhabited land. Functionally Australia is almost entirely urban.

> clearly very well informed

I completely underestimated the role of professional safety drivers for autonomous vehicles. I thought it's "just a guy" sitting in the car for good measure, but it turns out that the majority of drivers is not fit for the job even after lengthy training, see e.g. [1] (a gread podcast in general).

Also all autonomous driving companies employ safety drivers - except one.

> NHTSA scrutinizes crashes that involve anything close to Autopilot and FSD quite heavily.

I wouldn't put too much hope into the NHTSA regulating Autopilot. It took a two year legal battle to get the data driving their analysis of the Autopilot in 2017, turns out it was completely provided by Tesla, but worse, when confounders where removed, it still showed a higher crash rate for Autopilot.

If you take a non-American view of Autopilot, Europeans agencies did scrutinize the crashes more closely and as a result have restricted the use of Autopilot.

If you are interested in the topic of autonomous driving I recommend the Autonocast podcast.

>The airframe with the engines mounted differently did not have adequately stable handling at high AoA to be certifiable. Boeing decided to create the MCAS system to electronically correct for the aircraft's handling deficiencies.

While accurate, it omits that part of the certification Boeing were chasing was a common type rating with previous 737s on the basis of it having similar handling characteristics. MCAS did not exist because the 737 Max was unsafe, just different.

The reason they were chasing fleet commonality is because it would massively reduce adoption costs for airlines by making expensive training for existing 737 pilots unnecessary.
There was an interview with the ASML CEO recently in Dutch newspapers and what he said was that the succes of ASML is that it created a very tight knit ecosystem of companies that are all very important for ASML's success. Copying the success of ASML is so difficult, because it's not just one company you need to copy, but a whole ecosystem of highly specialised companies.
Airbus seems safer from your link?

They never had a crash on any of their newer models, A380, A350 and neo variants.
The vast majority of flights are performed in 737s and A320 variants and the crash rate is 0.09 for Airbus vs 0.24 for Boeing.

[edit]: actually excluding planes produced before the 737NG in 1984 and the 737 max, the 737 crash rate is 0.11 which is still slightly higher than Airbus.
That's not true. Even with coal, the end-to-end emissions are better with electric cars.

Proof: Poland is 800gCO₂/kWh [1]. With an average electric car (i.e. my hyundai ioniq), you average 11kWh/100km, or .11kWh/km. Taking emissions into account, that gives us 88gCO₂/km.

A VW golf is 120gCO₂/km [2]

> which is by far the world's safest airline

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/06/what-are-the-safest-airlines...

It seems Ryanair does not make it to the top 20 in terms of being the safest airline. Ryanair comes in at the 7th place for the low-cost-airline safety.

It could mean that Boeing are handing out huge discounts, or that Ryanair bets on these planes never making it to market, forcing Boeing to give them a killer deal on a replacement plane etc.

The thing is that most passengers that have read any of the articles about this plane, will never set foot on one of them.
So this makes me wonder, why not. What's stopping them from advancing quicker in this particular field if they could cut more corners faster? And could they cut more?
Surfshark has Wireguard on everything other than Linux as of now. It's cheap and fairly reliable in my experience. Hopefully they add Linux support soon, although it's not like their native client or OpenVPN have given me any grief on Linux.
> BSD, IllumninOS, IBM z/OS did it first in supporting Linux APIs in some form, either by syscall remapping or VMs.

z/OS has only gained support for running Linux binaries quite recently, in z/OS 2.4 (released September 2019), which supports running z/Linux Docker containers (zCX). Prior to that, z/OS had no built-in support for running Linux binaries in any form. Microsoft released WSL1 in August 2016. So z/OS got this feature 3 years after Windows did.

You might be thinking of z/VM or PR/SM, both of which support running z/Linux virtual machines (but neither of which is z/OS); or of z/OS Unix System Services, which offers some degree of source compatibility with Linux (through its implementation of the UNIX 95 standard), but doesn't have any Linux binary compatibility.
But almost all JSON libraries parse them to binary doubles and don't even do that correctly.
Not sure it's propaganda - i think that on HN at least, it's just the one company like this that everyone has heard of. Could you name these companies in Japan, so we know a few more?
That’s why the vaccine needs two applications. With only a single application, you’d also only get 90 days.

Additionally, a lot of the additives in the vaccine are intended to make your immune system perceive it as much more of a threat (while a virus will try to be perceived as not a threat), increasing the priority your immune system gives the virus (and the duration it will be able to stay immune)
How are US consumers using fintech apps?
Might be a bit more than you think. I’ve been using signal for some work chats, as it is a fully functional app no one I knew was using, so it made for a nice silo.

Since the term change, I’d say maybe 10-20% of the contacts on my phone have installed signal. It notifies you of new contacts. I don’t know if they’re chatting, and no one has actually used it to message me, but the group I’m seeing is far beyond some technical niche.

Whether it dents whatsapp is another question.
38,000 people die annually in auto accidents. Car manufacturers should never get away with it. Two incidents with 200+ fatalities indeed is tragic, but automobiles are nearly two orders of magnitude worse in death counts. We should be 100x more serious about automobiles.
Your link disagrees with your conclusion?
I find it fascinating as a demonstration of William Gibons "the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed" how much tech like this turns out to be much older than what people today expect. Another example would be video-telephony (a cctv-like commercial and publicly available video-telephony network operated in Germany 1936 onwards; it was "just" fixed booths at the post-offices of a few cities, but still; and the idea dated back to just a couple of years after the telephone)... Turns out you can write a lot of very prescient-sounding scifi by taking tech that already exist but isn't widely known, and positing a world where it is everywhere... (half of what people sometimes think Jules Verne "predicted" for example where things that existed in his time - including the Pantelegraph "fax" service)

>> Fearing God is important in Christianity, but let’s think about what that means?

It means to believe and do absurd things due fear such Abraham offering his son as a sacrifice/killing him. Most important it means to fear questioning "god's will" or the authenticity of religion.

>> The most concrete example is understanding that attempting to break the laws of physics by “flying” off a cliff is unwise.

Religions like very much to enact "laws"/opinions on things they don't understand or don't fit their model. The history is full of this. Usually people get hurt. Just look at what poor Isaac was about to get. The old book is full of such crap. Hate, war, and discrimination seem to get a respectable place as well. To make your example more religious you should put a punishment on that: i.e if you try to fly you will rot in hell and even if you escape the fall the good people of the church will burn you at the stake.

>> Not trying to change your mind or person

You can't. I went full circle on it. Once you get rid of the fear you see the religions for what they truly are: a mix of old politics and some cheap philosophy.

>> but encourage you to continue discovering philosophy and religion

Philisophy: maybe

Religion: my stomach can't handle it anymore.
Did not realise Visa was using z/TPF. Do you have a link with more information?
Well no, because an autocracy can just decide to go full in with the most outrageously stupid ideas and no one can stop it from happening. Just look at the great famines in USSR, China and North Korea. Or the fuckups with nuclear reactor designs and operations in the USSR.

Now mind you, autocracy doesn’t necessarily mean despotic dictatorship. Self serving unbounded capitalism can be one as well.
Do you mean the 0.07 "fatality rate" for Boeing 737-600/700/800/900 vs. the 0.09 for the A320 family? I would say they are both very safe aircraft, but I wouldn't read too much into the 0.02 difference, because that includes accidents like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525 (where the copilot intentionally crashed the plane) or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522 (which was 100% due to human error)
Thanks, that’s right.
> You don't want to share a road with me when you could share it with a Tesla FSD.

I'd rather share a road with you, a human.

Even if you're a self-admitted bad driver, humans have a strong instinct of self preservation which helps.

Software has no such thing, a bug in the code will let it accelerate full throttle into a wall (or whatever) without flinching because it's not alive.

Ryanair has a significantly better safety record than all of the "safest" airlines on that list, and have never had a fatality or serious accident, which is more than most of them.

It's own safety rating system puts Ryanair at the same "7 stars", but their history speaks for itself.

Machine Learning Project Ideas for 2021
Hello everyone. I'm Giorgio, the co-author of the PGM-index paper together with Paolo Ferragina.

First of all, I'd like to thank @hbrundage for sharing our work here and also all those interested in it. I'll do my best to answer any doubt in this thread.

Also, I'd like to mention two other related papers:

- "Why are learned indexes so effective?" presented at ICML 20, and co-authored with Paolo Ferragina and Fabrizio Lillo.

PDF, slides and video: http://pages.di.unipi.it/vinciguerra/publication/learned-ind...

TL;DR: In the VLDB 20 paper, we proved a (rather pessimistic) statement that "the PGM-index has the same worst-case query and space bounds of B-trees". Here, we show that actually, under some general assumptions on the input data, the PGM-index improves the space bounds of B-trees from O(n/B) to O(n/B^2) with high probability, where B is the disk page size.

- "A 'learned' approach to quicken and compress rank/select dictionaries" presented at ALENEX 21, and co-authored with Antonio Boffa and Paolo Ferragina.

PDF and code: http://pages.di.unipi.it/vinciguerra/publication/learned-ran...

TL;DR: You can use piecewise linear approximations to compress not only the index but the data too! We present a compressed bitvector/container supporting efficient rank and select queries, which is competitive with several well-established implementations of succinct data structures.

The tendency is that neither the tax nor the proposed program has been thought through in such cases.
Not necessarily. Autocracies don’t self-correct when it’s needed: dissent is not tolerated and dissenters are automatically out-group and dealt with accordingly.

Some non-zero amount, though not 100%. But if a life is a life, and we can only lobby politicians for so many things, we could probably reduce more deaths by having higher standards for licensing. And our lobbying efforts could save magnitudes more lives.
Are you saying 38,000 automobile deaths are caused by defects that the manufacture neglected to fix or warn customers about?

Of course not. So that's a false parallel i.e. whataboutism.

I applaud your faith in Boeing and the authorities, but the article we are commenting on gives some pretty believable arguments that the scrutiny may not have been in fact enough...
"Received a lot of scrutiny" != "Is actually safe/problems all fixed because of said scrutiny".
Ryanair is pretty good on safety (my brother is a pilot with them). However they do absolutely everything to push costs down. MAX is a significant saving in fuel, which is one of the biggest costs.
